2017 NBA Playoff Preview: Predictions

The NBA playoff matchups are all set to take place and it’s time to look at all the eight playoff series. Boston managed to secure the number one seed in the East with a bit of help from Cleveland’s collapse down the stretch. The Celtics will square off with the Bulls while the Cavaliers will take on the Pacers. Both the Bulls and Pacers are grateful to be in the postseason as they were fighting the Heat for the last two places. In one of the more engrossing encounters, the young Bucks team will come up against a veteran Raptors squad. The Washington Wizards will take on the Atlanta Hawks in the middle of the bracket.

The Warriors were able to secure the number one seed in spite of missing the services of Kevin Durant at the end of the season. As long as Golden State are in the playoffs, they will have the home court advantage including the NBA finals if they are able to make a return trip. However, the burning question that everyone wants to know is whether the fans will get a Finals rematch between the Golden state Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Warriors will start off their campaign against the Blazers. San Antonio may have missed on to win the top seed but they are still a force to reckon with, while the Spurs are to have a showdown against the Grizzlies.
